NEW! Cool Kids™ Toddler Vests

Heat-sensitivity can be a difficult symptom for an active child.  

We’ve helped kids with Dravet Syndrome, Down Syndrome, mitochondrial diseases, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy and other medical conditions beat the heat! 

Cooling for big "kids" and little kids, too!

New! CoolKids™ Toddler Cooling Vest

This summer, Polar Products is proud to announce our expanded pediatric body cooling line, including new products (toddler vest!), new colors (light blue!) and new projects (cooling seat cushion for strollers - coming soon!).

Cool58® cooling packs

Our cooling vests for toddlers and kids use reusable, lightweight and non-toxic Cool58® cooling packs that cool at a safe and comfortable temperature of 58° Fahrenheit.

Here's what moms have to say about Polar's Cool Kids™ Cooling Vests:

CoolKids™ Toddler Cooling Vest in Light Blue

“This CoolKids™ Toddler Cooling Vest works wonders for my son! He was born with Down Syndrome and has a hard time regulating his own body temperature. With this vest we have been able to play outside without the constant worry of him overheating. His safety means everything to us and this vest certainly helps my husband and I worry a little less. The vest is easy to use, easy to clean, and it really does only take 20 minutes in ice water to recharge. We also opted for the extra ice packs; I highly recommend getting them if you plan to be out in the heat for more than a couple hours. On a side note: The light blue vest is super cute on my little man! 

I could not be happier with this product!” 

− Courtney in VA

“My 12 year old son loves his Cool58® Vest. He is totally sold on how wonderful it is and says, “It is amazing, Mom.” He likes it especially because it is easy to use, and “I don’t need your help, Mom.” He even wore it under his life jacket on the boat and I think he was the most comfortable one. I can tell that it helped him not be fatigued as much and he didn’t sweat like he normally would. That was a huge help in keeping him hydrated. When I brought it home he said, “I know this will make me feel better when I am out and during band camp too.”  Thank you so much, you have no idea how much this will improve his quality of life.”

CoolKids™ Toddler Cooling Vest in Pink

“This is a true lifesaver for my daughter. She has a skin condition called Ichthyosis that prevents her from sweating and regulating her body temperature. With this CoolKids™ Toddler Cooling Vest she is able to attend recess and PE with her friends at school and participate in other outdoor activities. The ice packs stay cool for a long time in 80 degree weather.” 

− Cynthia in Texas

“My son loves Star Wars, so I put a few iron on patches on his new Polar Products cooling vest.”

– Kapka

“Kindergarten success! Thanks to the cooling vest, my daughter has been able to actively participate in physical education and recess without risk of overheating. It is easy for her to use by herself. She keeps it in a mini-fridge in her classroom and uses it as needed. Thank you so much for your product!”

- Jen in WV

Our Local Cool Kids™ Family

This summer we have had the pleasure of working with an incredible local family in Stow, Ohio. Three of the children have varying levels of heat-sensitivity as a result of medical conditions. These active kids can't just stay in the AC and miss out on the fun of the summertime, so we were happy to help them stay cool! 

The youngest, B. is just three years old. This sweet little boy was the inspiration for our newest cooling product, the Cool Kids Toddler Stroller Seat. He has IV line access in his chest and a feeding tube in his tummy, so at first we were concerned about the fit of our toddler cooling vest. It turned out to not be an issue at all and he loves his vest!

conference room during a design meeting for the stroller cooling seat. 

We just received an e-mail from their mom, Amy, giving us an update on their summer:

"Here is a picture of all of the kids wearing their Polar Products!!! My girls have used the neck wraps like crazy." 

"B. has been doing so well. He is probably the best he has been his entire life here on this earth.  We have been using his cooling vest like crazy. I really think it has made a huge difference in him. It does not seem to bother his tubes. And it keeps him from sweating which has really helped keep the dressing to his IV line intact." 

12-year-old C. says, "I know this will make me
feel better during band camp!" 

"C. also continues to use his vest like crazy.  It is so easy for me to manage as well as him. We just fill up the cooler (which by the way is totally awesome and leak proof) from you with ice water (especially when we are at the lake) and we just recharge them in the cooler. My husband and I were talking about getting a timer to help us remember when to recharge the packs. Especially for B. because the packs are so little. But they are so lightweight and it doesn't seem to affect him or his balance at all."

"Here is a picture of C. letting his big fish go."

"I am very happy with the stroller seat pad. I can imagine that a younger or more immobile child would really like it. It is totally what I have been searching for. We found that if we kept a blanket or a jacket over it when he was out of the stroller it stayed colder for much longer. He was very comfortable in his stroller with the pad in. He wasn't sweaty when we picked him up out of the stroller like he normally would have been."

NEW! Cool Kids Toddler Stroller Seat

"Here is a picture of B. loading up his water gun to go after the ducks. He is wearing his vest. But he also has his tube feed pump on over the vest. (That is the clown fish on his back.) I think it's awesome he can wear his tube feed pump and life vest with his cooling vest on. That just makes it so functional for him." 

"And here is a picture of him sitting in the highchair in the water. B. is not allowed to swim at all. Lake water is loaded with bacteria that can make him really sick because of his tubes. However, he is a kid and he wants to do what everyone else does. So we put on his cooling vest and put him in the highchair by the dock. He can get his feet wet and be part of the crowd with his siblings in the water and yet we can keep his tubes dry. 

"We are so grateful for the gift you guys have given our family. It has truly been a blessing. I have so many wonderful memories we have built this summer because my kids are more comfortable and I feel like I don't have to worry about them and how the heat is affecting them as much."
